This commit has been in the tree for a long time.  It was in the 4.4.7
release, back in April 2016.  And then it was reverted in commit
b7321e81fc36 ("USB: iowarrior: fix NULL-deref at probe") as it broke
systems.  So why add it back, the correct functionality should be there
today, right?

thanks,
